Masking Technique

Me again with last blog of the day, so hope you enjoy this one as well.

What you'll need :

• Sheena card, Black card and card blank
• Distress oxides - Fossilised amber, Spiced marmalade and Fired brick
• Versafine Onyx black
• Bee crafty laugh live dream stamp
• Bee crafty wildflower 3
• Bee crafty d'inkables distressed harlequin
• Masking tape

Step 1:

Cut some sheena card down to whatever size you wish (as you know I don't measure unless I need to ) Put some masking tape on your card leaving a small panel showing. Then blend some fossilised amber and spiced marmalade in small sections and alternating between the two. Spritz some water to form some droplets over the oxides and blot off with some kitchen towel.

Step 2:

With the distressed harlequin d'inkable stencil blend some fired brick oxide through and work your way down the panel.

Step 3:

Ink up the wildflower stamp in versafine and stamp randomly all over the panel. Once you're happy with how it looks carefully remove the masking tape on both sides. Then ink up the laugh live dream stamp in versafine and stamp it in the position you'd like on the card.

Step 4:

Finally just matt the card onto some black card ( optional step I went round the edges of the black card with spectrum nior clear sparkle pen ) and then just mount onto your card blank

Easy peasy, well I hope it is for you and it makes sense. Please leave any questions or comments you may have.

Until next time

Easy Frame Circle

Hey crafters, second blog of the day. Trying to get as many done today as I can so sorry if you get sick of me.

Here's the second card of the day

What you'll need:

• Sheena card, Gold glitter card, Black card 7x7 card blank
• Distress oxides - Fossilised Amber, Spiced Marmalade and Fired Brick
• Versamark
• Black embossing powder
• White acrylic paint
• Circle stencil
• Bee crafty easy template circle
• Bee crafty Laugh Live Dream stamp
• Bee crafty backdrop frames circle splatter stamp
• Clear nuvo drops

Step 1:

Cut some sheena card to 6x6inch, place the circle template with the solid circle removed. Blend in random places the 3 colours of oxides. Then take your blending tool and pick some ink and make random circles all over. And then with a circle stencil paint a thin layer of white paint through the stencil. My last blog explains it better I'll pop a link here

Step 2:

Remove the circle template and the place the solid circle mask over your background. You can either hold it in place or spray some stick and spray on the back like I did. Take the circle splatter stamp and ink up the swirly bits in fossilised amber and stamp all round the edge of the cicle. If you miss a few bits you can always put some ink on your craft sheet and paint it in with a fine paint brush.

Step 3:

Once you're happy with how it looks remove the circle mask. Make sure all ink and paint is dry. Stamp the laugh live dream sentiment in the centre of the circle with versamark, Pour some black embossing powder over and then heat set.

Step 4:

Last but not least matt onto some gold glitter card and layer with some black then adhere to your card blank. And for a finishing touch add some clear nuvo drops just randomly in the circle.

And that's all that's to it. Hope you enjoyed this blog. Any question please feel free to ask me or leave a comment.

Until next time

Bokeh Effect Oxides

Hey everyone. I've got a few blogs for you over today and tomorrow. Got a lot to catch up on. So lets get started with the first one. As always please leave comments and feel free to ask any questions.

What you'll need:

• Sheena card, Black glitter card, Blue card, White card blank
• Distress oxides - Iced Spruce, Broken China and Faded Jeans
• Versafine Oynx Black
• White acrylic paint
• Circle stencil
• Round blending tool and foam
• Bee Crafty Laugh Live Dream stamp
• Bee Crafty Delight stamp
• Nuvo drops blue glitter and clear

Step 1:

Cut your Sheena card down to size. In random place blend all the oxides until the card is cover in all 3 colours. Once you're happy take your blending tool pick up some ink and just dab the ink on the card so it leaves you with a circle. Repeat with all the colours and overlap some of the circles.

Step 2:

Next take a circle stencil ( if you don't have one you can create your own buy cutting circles out with a die or circle cutter, on some card or acetate and do different sizes ), paint a thin layer of the white paint through the stencil and do the circles in different sizes and random places all over the back ground.

Step 3:

Once the paint is dry, ink up the laugh live dream stamp with versafine and stamp in the middle of the card. Mount the Delight stamp onto a block and mask off the most of the stamp and just leaving the swirly bits. Ink up with versafine and stamp all round the edge of the card.

Step 4:

Then matt the card onto some black glitter card and then layer with some dark blue card and adhere to your card blank. And to finish the card off add some of the nuvo glitter drops and the clear drops randomly over the card and leave to dry.

And that's it. Hope you found this easy to follow, and inspires you to create.

Until next time
